FS: Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
LLT: I dream to be a fashion designer when I was very young age. My mother loves Fashion very much but she didn’t have a chance to build up her careers in fashion industry. So she always made beautiful clothes for me and my brother when we were kids. I was so curious how to turn fabrics into a garment, so she taught me how to knit and crochet when I was 10, and I made my very first knitted scarf in that winter. I started to learn pattern make when my mother buy me the first Blythe doll in high school. This is how I started to learn everything about the Fashion industry and become a designer.
